People sometimes ask me why I do what I do or what I love about it. I received the e-mail below from a client I worked with a few years ago. Her dream was to move to Italy and start a business. There is nothing more amazing and inspiring to me than to watch someone overcome their own internal barriers and begin to live the life they always dreamed of.
With her permission I am posting her e-mail.
You cannot believe how incredible it is to be living our dream. My husband Michael and I are still in awe everyday that we are here, doing what we once dreamed about, and now it's a reality. Besides just living here, our tour business has taken off like wild fire. We've been booked solid since April, and are already booking into 2009! How amazing is that?? We are having so much fun every day, and getting paid for it! It's the best gig in the world !!
I get people every day asking me if I am writing a book, that they will be waiting for it to come out. All of our tour clients want to know how we did it, what made us decide to actually move, how did we get up the courage to do something so risky. You once told me you thought there might be a book in me someday-- you were right. I'm now working on notes, with a goal to have a book completed next year.
You've changed not one life but two over here!!
Ciao,
Karen

Your post speaks to me on so many levels. I found your website when I was searching for the opportunity to become a trainer on the internet. I have always had two dreams in my life. The first is to move back to Rome, Italy and the second is to be a professional motivator. To me, a teacher is a motivator, a source of inspiration and knowledge and a catalyst for growth. The fact that you were able to help Karen and her husband live out their dream is amazing, and I hope to spend my life helping people make their dreams come true. My dream is to inspire others. As corny as things sounds, this is all I want to do in my life. I have had friends and colleagues say that I helped them find their true potential and believe in themselves. This is the greatest thing anyone could ever say to me.
I would like to tell you my story, what motivates me as well as why I feel that working with you will be an incredible fit. This is probably the least professional way that anyone had ever tried to reach out to you, but I believe that people have to do what feels right to them and always go with their gut instinct. After seeing your website and learning about what you do, I was interested in getting in touch with you. After seeing your blog and this entry in particular, my gut instinct told me that I MUST reach out to you. If you would be willing to speak with me, please let me know the best way to contact you further.
